2-Expresses ideas through original artworks and applies the art elements (line, shape, form, color, texture)
3-Consistently will apply the art elements in original artworks
4-Independently applies and expresses an understanding of the art elements in all of their art work
Kinder participates in activities

2-Participates in the art class with few reminders
3-Participates in all of the art class projects/discussions
4-Participates in the art class projects/discussions and consistently demonstrates a strong understanding of the art elements and connets the information to other subject areas.
Here are the descriptors that all parents see now for the 4, 3, 2, 1. In addition then each subject area has their own descriptions of this - again you can read those by going to **http://www.roundrockisd.org/home/index.asp?page=1581**
4 Understandings go beyond grade level expectation
3 Exhibit Matery of TEKS
